Hi Inge,

the pearl farmer do not culture the small pearls intentionally. It is not economical. Generally in an oyster, there exist 15-40 pearls. Some are small.
The local government begin to realize the importance of protecting the water. So they prohibit pearl farming in the lakes, whose water maybe used as drink water.
